Kashmir Council EU has already requested the leadership of both side of Azad Kashmir and Indian Held Kashmir to attend the protest.

The PR said, the protest is against Modi’s fascism particularly Indian brutalities against the people of occupied Kashmir and exploitation of Kashmiri students studying at different Indian Universities and as well fascist and exploitive policies of Modi’s government against various minorities and other oppressed segments of the society in India. Many other issues related the rights of people in the different Indian parts would also be raised during the protest. It is at the time when most recently harassment and torturing of students took place at JN University New Delhi specially Kanhaiya Kumar, the president of University Union was arrested on fake sedition charges for curtailing freedom of speech right.

According to Ali Raza Syed, situation in Indian Held Kashmir is being severe day to day and every moment is witness of murder, torture, arrest and harassment of the people. Even women and children are not safe from the Indian occupation forces.
